Yeah, I'm a dirty slacker. But it's updated.

Am I assuming the plan is to gain entry via Chief Brogan? The shuttle you need is inside the complex proper.

Does the AT-ST look like it gets it "Every 3000 Mile" maintenance check or does it appear to be rusting through it bolts?

It's tip-top. If a chicken walker was all that stood between your shiny Imperial power and a mob coming over your walls, you'd keep it maintained too.

Fair enough.

Fortunately, that Walker only carries two crew and would easily be taken out if say...someone were to place an explosive charge on its leg(s).

Fortunately, they are also vulnerable to cute fluffly teddy bear like creatures. It's a serious design flaw they should look into.

Where's Mandall throughout all of this, you ask?

Getting some beauty sleep aboard the ship, of course. I'll wake him up when he's needed.

Gatac

ahhh Imperial hospitality.

Any thoughts on how to play this other than:

*waving hand in the air as a distraction*
"Chief, we want to talk about buying parts from y--" *shoots him with the blaster in the other hand*

Well, due to the overwhelming response to my last question, I have another:

Are the Troops still with us?

Not like I could help with the first question, but you still have four stormtroopers watching you. You're not exactly at blasterpoint, but they are keeping themselves out of arm's reach and their weapons are in hand, not slung or holstered. Other opposition would be slower in coming and likely would consist of the guys you passed outside first coming in through the blast doors, then whatever crew and Imperial army guys were in the area grabbing the weapons they could. More stormtroopers would follow, of course.

"One stormtrooper falls dead and another steps up to take its place."

I wasn't expecting you to answer the first one. I also wasn't thinking of jumping him right then and there, but I wanted to know how discreet to be.

Sounds like a plan. I need to know who besides Aurelia and Jorm would like to be present at the Imperial base.

If Aurelia chooses not to be there, could Jorm theoretically fix the shuttle by himself?

Aurelia does choose to be there. I need to witness the pulling off of the most bald-faced heist plan in the history of the world.

LOL. I'll admit it's not that clever, but hey, you stick with what works. We still have a whole other shuttle to steal after this one. I'm willing to abort at any time, if someone has a better plan.

Like they say in farscape:

"It's not [a trick], believe me. This plan is so bad, it has to be one of ours."

Indeed! I'd like to have a diversionary plan to keep most of the Imperials at bay while the shuttle is stolen.

...that would probably involve disabling the planetary tracking system at the base.

Proton torpedoes can disable a hell of a lot.

That'll do nicely.

Er...I'm sure it's probably been noted somewhere but what kind of air defenses does this place have?

Here are my thouhts on the subject of "getting out of here in one piece" once we have the ship:

1. Assuming there are weapons...BLAST THE COMM TOWER.

2. BLAST THE SENSOR DISH

3. Take pot shots at the landing pads (especially where the Dagger is berthed.

4. Don't hit the Dagger.

That way, we disable communications so they can't call for help. Hopefully we prevent them from targeting us. And we might be able to draw suspicion away from the ship we came in.

In the course of all this, we comm the heavy back up.

The real trick is to get in the air without arousing too much suspicion. These Stormtroopers seem pretty competent.
